Below  Perspective on GDP Data By Mohit Ralhan - Chief Executive Officer, TIW Capital

"The March quarter growth has come out better than estimates, cementing India's position among the fastest-growing major economies of the world. The economy grew 6.1% YoY in Q4 FY 2023, much higher than 4.5% YoY in the previous quarter. The most critical was the growth in private investment activity. Gross fixed capital formation was up 8.9%, becoming the major growth driver while government expenditure took a back seat.

Agriculture grew 5.5% while manufacturing growth came in at 4.5%, a substantial improvement after two consecutive quarters of decline. Construction and other contact-intensive services continued to demonstrate robust growth. It augurs well for the coming quarters.
